Brad Wolff Emini EOD Review

S&P Emini market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • The Emini sold off yesterday, breaking below the August 22nd low, and found buyers below.
  • August 22nd was a strong enough bear bar that the odds favored a second leg down. This meant that the odds favored the market going at least one tick below the August 22nd low.
  • Because the August rally has been strong, the odds favored buyers below the August 22nd low and higher prices. The bulls are trying to get a reversal up from and a breakout above the 7-day tight trading range.

Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today

  • The Emini gapped up on the up and went sideway for the first 6 bars of the day. This is a warning that today, there may be a lot of trading range price action today.
  • As of bar 13, the bulls are trying to form a small pullback bull trend. The problem that the bulls have is that the market is forming a wedge top at yesterday’s high. This increases the risk of a reversal down.
  • The bulls need to do more than what they have done up to bar 13 if today will become a strong bull trend day.
  • Always In Bulls will likely exit below the bear bar, closing on its low (bar 15). The risk for the bulls is an opening reversal from a wedge top and a possible high of the day.
  • Bar 16, the bulls are getting too many closes above the moving average. This increases the odds that any reversal down will be minor and lead to a trading range for the bears.
  • The bears need to make the market go sideways before they can get a strong reversal down.
  • While the bulls have done a good job with the rally, the odds favor it transitioning into a trading range.

Yesterday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5-Minute Chart Triangle Open Then Bear Breakout

Al created the SP500 Emini charts.

Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry bar with a green arrow and each sell entry bar with a red arrow. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a near 4-year library of more detailed explanations of swing trade setups (see Online Course/BTC Daily Setups). Encyclopedia members get current daily charts added to Encyclopedia.

My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. If a trader was trying to be Always In or nearly Always In a position all day, and he was not currently in the market, these entries would be logical times for him to enter. These therefore are swing entries.

It is important to understand that most swing setups do not lead to swing trades. As soon as traders are disappointed, many exit. Those who exit prefer to get out with a small profit (scalp), but often have to exit with a small loss.

If the risk is too big for your account, you should wait for trades with less risk or trade an alternative market like the Micro Emini.

EURUSD Forex market trading strategies

EURUSD Forex daily chart

  • The EURUSD formed a bear breakout with follow-through today, closing below its midpoints. This is a strong enough reversal that the odds favor a second leg down.
  • The recent two-day selloff is causing disappointment going into the final trading day of the month.
  • The bears are trying to create as much of a tail as possible on the high of the bar.
  • While the market is Always In Long, the odds favor the bears getting a second leg down.
  • The bears need to get closes below the moving average in order to convince traders to sell the close.
  • The bulls need a second entry buy closing on its high if they are going to get a reversal up.  Without it, the best the bulls will likely get is sideways.
